What to expect when coming for treatment
The therapist will take some personal and medical details and these will remain strictly confidential. This information is then used to plan a course of treatment, to check whether there are any areas of special care needed and to help assess progress. Treatments last about an hour and are carried out in a relaxing, seated position. Reflexology works by relaxing the body the treatment so is usually pleasant and soothing, allowing the healing process to begin.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of treatment vares in length depending on your body's needs and how long you have suffered with a particular complaint. As treatment progresses the time in between each session will be increased as improvements are made.
At the first session (which takes a little longer than subsequent sessions) you will be asked various questions about your health, lifestyle, diet and obviously, the reason why you have come to see me. All information you give me will be treated in strict confidence. Once I have had a chance to look at your feet and assess the work that needs to be done I will then implement a treatment plan which will be reviewed at each session.
Following each treatment you are advised to rest for a while that day and drink plenty of water.
You will usually need 4-6 sessions fairly close together and then subsequent treatments will be at longer intervals as your body begins to heal and you begin to feel better. All treatments can be carried out in conjunction with orthodox medicine unless otherwise advised.
